I do this a lot, here's what I've found to be the best process.
When you take the screen capture, take it into Photoshop and open up image size, uncheck the resample image box, and adjust the print size to what your target will be. You'll notice the resolution changes. This is what keeps your image crisp at whatever size.
Once you have your images, use InDesign to layout multiple pages. Do not resize in whatever layout program you use, only in pshop as above. Then use the high quality print pdf export option.
One thing to keep in mind is that when Acrobat Reader zooms in or out of the actual pdf you'll get poor results on the screen. There's not much you can do about this unfortunately. You can test the quality of the pdf by zooming in 400% or more. On the plus side they'll print out pixel sharp.
